I catch Adele Bethel, one quarter of Sons And Daughters, right after a photo shoot and mere moments before sound check. A gig later that night will culminate a whirlwind four days in New York City for her band, who've come to the States to promote the reissue of a heralded, eponymous debut (originally released on Ba Da Bing! in early 2004). A US tour is expected to follow in the fall.

At the end of our chat, the vocalist/guitarist apologizes; she is concerned with coming across as inarticulate. "I'm sorry, I'm suffering from the heaviest hangover. There was a little party afterward (last night) and some crazy cocktails were poured!"

Adele accentuates her sentences with a charming, sheepish laugh, and as she does this a lot, it makes the interview, garbled at times by spotty cell phone reception and her thick Scottish accent, very bearable. Simply put, she's a sweetheart of a personality, a striking antithesis to the music Sons And Daughters deliver, authentic earthy drawl intact. You see, the Glaswegian band has a bit of an Americana fetish -- a love and affinity for country, blue grass, murder ballads and the like -- and they repackage these folky traditions as raucous, slightly dangerous gothic concoctions. Their excellent Love The Cup stands far apart from everything else going on right now: dark and punctuated with a whiskey bite, it channels America's windswept past with eerie acumen and a compelling guy/girl vocal tradeoff. The fact that a bunch of highland kids an ocean away were able to tap into the essence of Johnny Cash is amazing enough, but their ability to wrap it in tight nuggets of ear-friendly, mandolin-driven indie rock has shot the band straight into the buzz bin.

So get ready. Now signed to Domino (Ba Da Bing! proved too small for the band's explosive growth), Sons And Daughters face the hype machine -- due in no small part to a massively successful SXSW show, an association with fellow Scots Franz Ferdinand and a fickle British press machine touting S&D as the best UK band at the moment. So, if Adele and her gang were found celebrating hard the night before, they can be forgiven. The next level of success seems to be just a shot of Kentucky Bourbon away...
